Congrats to Gary, Hansi, and Sam! A poor start was too much for me to overcome as I had low overtaking risks and was stuck in traffic most of the race. Great job guys!

Congratulations Gary - excellent strategy! Hope to catch you next time.

Thanks guys, great race. This is turning into a very competitive season again with 7 guys who will be fighting all the way for podiums.
I'm just hoping race 1 will be my only random of the season as it cost me a potential podium.

Yes thanks Tyler, was a good race well done Gary, I knew we would be hearing flower of Scotland again soon.
I had 2 randoms in France so also hope that's my share for the season, although I don't expect to figure in the promotion battle as my driver is not up to it, I need experience on more tracks anyway so will be using this season to learn more and try some funky things out.
Good luck in Italy hopefully we see some overtaking, my girl will try her best ;)

Same here, I may be up in a promotion position right now but just an FYI to all in the group that I am NOT planning on promoting this year. Just don't think my driver is ready to handle Amateur at this point.

Well done Tyler just too damn quick today.
The group is getting tighter every race and some really fast managers here.
I'd hate to see you if your driver was up for it Sam because if it wasn't for a few bits of bad luck I am certain you'd be pushing Tyler for the top spot.
Heres hoping you will all be hearing Flower of Scotland a few more times :-)
Good luck next race everyone

Thanks Gary yes she ain't too bad but I messed up on fuel so my razor thin 2 stopper didn't come to fruition.
Hmm Tyler sounds like this group will be tough next season with a former elite manager in Giann competing for promotion, I may try jumping ship to a group I have a hope of a championship win, though I know this could easily go horribly wrong.
Very much enjoyed hearing the star spangled banner :) makes a nice change to the constant drone of the Italian anthem last season lol

I thought I was the only one constantly going "Oh no not again" lol

Lol no but this season it seems the only thing I have to say that about is randoms, so I had my 3rd of the season, but didnt hurt me much in the end, it was the infamous HELMUTITIS that strikes down many a driver, as I have a female driver I can merely deduce it was messing her hair up!
|
|
|
|
Thanks guys :) I'm sure my time with randoms will come soon enough.
Sam, next year will definitely be tough but it should be a good preperation for Amateur (and it will be at least a little easier if Gary, Gusttavo, Hansi, and Fabio promote)
|

Congratulations Tyler the beautiful start to the season, I'm also sure that my randoms will come soon !

True Tyler I shouldn't be greedy and want a possible trophy, promotion would be a good enough target for my third season, though 1 thing I did think of as a benefit, id have another race to watch and group to keep an interested eye on if I did move, might just wait and see how I feel at the end of season, could be fun to try and scout out an easier group only to have 3 top managers also jump into it lol
|

Congrats to Mr Huber on his 1st GPRO Win.
Was a great race, plenty of overtaking and interesting strategies, my podium was a welcome bonus but as im not going for promotion this season I would rather save that good luck lol.
|
|
|
|
Great win Hansi, well deserved victory.
Good to see you back up the front Sam even if it is going to be short lived :-)
|
|
|
|
yes thanks Gary it was a very familiar sight staring at your rear wing like i was most of last season also :D
This next race should be pretty interesting, waited all season for some weather, well here it comes .....
|
|
|

|

WOW I absolutely luckbox smashed that strategy! had 0% fuel and 12% tyres, all wet all race worked out nicely for me and tyler :)

Congrats on the win Sam!!
I was going to ask you how much you had left because I knew it had to be cutting it close. I actually missed the strategy as I was hoping it would start raining sooner, 7 laps of dry ate up my tires and caused me to have about 40 extra L of fuel that first stint. Glad the rain started when it did!
|
|
|
|
Yea exactly the same Tyler, even 1 more lap of dry would have cost me my win, i lucked out big time there.
This season has been as exciting as we predicted, 5 different winners across 9 races is pretty good.
|
|
|
|
Nice Gary, pit with 1 lap to go and still win!
Mistyped the fuel for my last stint (dummy) and cost myself a position. Oh well, not a biggie this year.
|
|
|
|
Unreal. I couldn't believe I scraped a win on that one. I was just fortuanate that the pit stop was for 20 only ltres.
|
|
|
|
yea that was a sweet win gary, what with all your other penultimate lap pits earlier in season, that 20l was crucial as you only won by 3 tenths!!!! nice splash n dash
|
|
|
|
|
Congrats to HH on a well deserved win! Played my strategy perfectly, just looks like it was the wrong strategy to use, lol.

ha yea tyler i was thinking the same thing with yours, i kinda knew the 2 soft would not work but still went with it as i wanted to be proved right lol
Its a bit of a shame the promotion spots are all decided but suppose the championship and cup fight should be interesting - good luck to all tonight in Sepang
|

Dang, was all over Gary's rear wing but just couldn't execute the pass for the win. Being down 6 and needing to keep my driver's OA down means the championships could be all but decided.
|
|
|
|
I'm sure your car was pushing me on for the win. 0.002 on the last lap I thought you had me beat.
|
|
|
|
Thank you guys for this very demanding season. You forced me to learn a lot.
All the best.
Hansi

Still don't no what i'am doing, but its fun
|

So no more racing for me this season guys, i am still training my driver and want to promote next season, and with the rule change i now cannot score again so wil be throwing all the races
Hope you lot can have fun this season at least

IMO, it's a mistake for you of all people to tank the rest of the season. Unless you've been pushing the car way too much to get that first 48 points, you're on pace to be pretty safely aboard in amateur with a reasonable amount of money.
Also, if you're driver needs another season of training with his OA where it's at currently, it'll be very difficult to make it work long term. By the time you get to amateur, you'll already be pushing the ama OA limit, and if you need to keep improving the driver to keep pace, you'll be forced to either promote a season early, which is a very dangerous proposition, or change drivers, which makes the extra time and money put into this driver useless.
Probably above all else, you have no idea what amateur is like, so how do you know you need the extra season of training? There's nothing wrong with relegation, especially from amateur to rookie, because you get a clean reset. You should go experience amateur, and get a feel for what you need and whether this time you were prepared or not. If it doesn't work, then you can go back to the drawing board.
